Wouldn't think the fire Hak crowd could argue with this, but I'd guess they will. Would like to ask them this:
1. How many years of good to very good seasons without a natty is a reasonable number before firing.
2. How many terrible seasons with no natty does a coach get without fans demanding he be fired?
3. After getting a natty, how many terrible seasons does a coach get before he is fired?
I wouldn't like the above, even knowing the natty was coming in year 7, and I'd probably be bandwagon enough to quit watching and ignore the team until year 7. Or, if possible, dvr all games, delete the losses, and watch the wins in those first four years.
